I don't contribute there, but I looked darn hard for a logo graphic at Christmas time and came up short.
Do they give buyer referrals? If so, I'll make sure I clear my cookies and tag onto someone if I go shopping there again.

I didn't know you can set your own EL prices...where can you edit them?
this is only available to those members with 100 dl+, on the pager where you submit the image info.

I see there are others here with over 100 sales, so it looks like they have something going for them. If you do sign up, make sure to ask for an FTP account, it is the easiest upload, no categories, just upload and they appear in your portfolio.

Companies that I think are currently doing well by contributors are Cutcaster (we all know John's work ethic and how involved in the microstock community he is), Graphic Leftovers (Daniel and team are very responsive, very helpful, and actually asked my opinion on some new site design features), and Dreamstime is fair and responsive to member concerns. All three of these companies also pay fairly, Cutcaster paying 40%, GL paying 52%, and DT paying the tiered royalty scale that is certainly more fair than what many other companies offer.
Thanks for the info Mike. Of those three I am only on DT. I will agree, though, that of the big sites they offer the fairest deal to contributors.
I have never heard of Graphic leftovers. Are there any sales there?
I have been contemplating adding Cutcaster to my lineup to replace StockXpert or Crestock, but what I have been reading about sales volume has me holding back. Not to mention that the smaller sites seem to be folding like cheap suits all over the place.

Tom,
For what it's worth, the iStock pictures I've opted into partner programs are all on ThinkStock. Nothing from SX has shown up there yet.

Just for the sake of accuracy.
The only way to get files on IS is to have an IS account and upload them
The only way to get anything new on ThinkStock, is upload to IS and Opt In. There is no ThinkStock upload feature.
NO FILES ARE BEING MOVED FROM StockXpert TO IS!
Selected files from either StockXpert or IS at the time of the transition MIGHT be moved to ThinkStock. We have not been given details of this three phase program.Quote from: Agnesh on February 04, 2010, 17:44
Think this information is somewhere at the forum already, but will make a note in this section just to sum everything up.
SXis now closed, instead we have a Thinkstock.
If you:
1) have a SX account and turned On selling through subscription and you don't have account at Istock, your portfolio will migrate to Istock
2) have a SX, turned Off selling through subscription and would like to sell images at Thinkstock you shall turn subscriptions On (My Account->Profile , flag point 7 and save changes)
3) have both IS and SX accounts and have subscription sells turned on at both - your SX portfolio will migrate to IS, but duplicates from IS pack will be deleted from SX one.

I had one recently but the lower prices and commissions have reduced my earnings. I used to get the same low number of sales but when I did get one, it was usually for a nice commission. Now it is really hard to see why I should stay there after my next payout. It will take a while to reach that, so they still have some time to improve but after the last few years, I don't see it happening.Quote from: madelaide on February 10, 2010, 21:27
I had one sales last week. It had been a long time without one.
Congrats! Madelaide on your sale, it is such a rare event nowadays for FP to make a sale, I can't even remember when it was the last time I made any kind of money with them...it's really getting tiredsome checking every week to see the same amount of $ just sitting there.

@ Melastmohican: I think they are still migrating images, so hang in there, maybe they will show up.
@ Lisafx: See I have this dilemma. A lot of my older images that are on StockXpert are very unlikely to be accepted at Istock. Otherwise, I'd just upload everything at Istock and be on my way.
